Peaches Geldof Died Yesterday At 25

I've been writing this site for like, what, 7 years, and I still only have a cursory knowledge of Peaches Geldof. Like most of you, I know the name and the fact her dad was the Live Aid guy, but that's pretty much it. But, unless they were a monster, its always fucked up when somebody dies this young regardless of the situation. Everybody was sad about Mickey Rooney yesterday, but homey was 93. He probably added a nitrous tank to his wheelchair so he could ride into the white light fan.

Least Likely To Be Adopted

The concept was to make “fashionesque images” of the longest in residence at the dog pound near my home (some dogs had been there over six months). I specifically asked for the dogs that were the “least likely to be adopted” and took their portraits to represent them with personality, youth and “edge” in order to aid their adoption. All the dogs pictured here were adopted.

What awesome madness is this? A circus comprised of super hot girls with big ta-ta's doing tricks beneath the even bigger top? I've yet to see a single live act from the Pussycat Circus, but pencil me in for season tickets through the next century please. Nicol McLean was rehearsing her trapeze routine in a cleavetastic bit of Spandex, showing off her massively happy mams for the sake of the circus. You don't hold anything back when you're circus folk. You leave it all out in the three rings. Let's hope Nicola doesn't leave us hanging.

Helium Balloon Suspended Bridge By Olivier Grossetete

French installation artist Olivier Crossetête's work 'pont de singe' conjures ideas of dreamlike surrealism - a featherweight bridge suspended by three helium-filled balloons, steadily held aloft a lake in tatton's japanese garden in the uk. Grossetête’s artwork toys with the disciplines of design and engineering, with this particular piece an extension of his earlier 2007 work 'pont suspendu' - an installation along a similar vein of three large balloons supporting a bridge-like structure, hovering over château ferry lacombe in tret, france.The work evokes a sense of abstract delicacy, transferring fanciful imagery usually reserved for daydreaming to reality.

Hot Wheels Edition Camaro is an Instant Classic

Chevrolet might have known it had a winner on its hands last year when it unveiled the “Hot Wheels” edition Camaro, or maybe not, but this year the automaker will release the car as a limited-run package. Whatever the real reason is, production will officially begin in the first quarter of 2013 on the car you see here. After that, there will be a short production run where Chevrolet will build as many cars with the $6,995 package as customers request. Perhaps the most exciting thing about the car is that GM isn’t limiting which versions of the car can carry the package – at least not very much. Customers can choose between a coupe or convertible and between the V6 or V8 engines. The more specialized cars like the ZL1 and COPO, understandably, won’t be offered in Hot Wheels trim.

Detect if a Person Is a Threat at a Glance

It's not usually a good idea to quickly judge someone based on a quick glance, but Psychology Today points out that in some cases—especially when your safety is potentially threatened—it's good to go with your gut when you view someone as possibly aggressive. Citing several different studies, Psychology Today points out that in most cases, we're very good at immediately recognizing someone as a potential threat based on their face alone. While it's not foolproof, it is often accurate, and as Psychology Today notes it's good to trust your instincts.

Mega-Hurricane Destroys 200,000 Vehicles, Including 15,000 New Cars

The biggest Atlantic storm ever in U.S. history, which hit New Jersey, New York and the surrounding regions with 100 mph+ (160 km/h) winds that caused at least 100 deaths, has left the East Coast counting its losses and trying to fix the damages. The catastrophe brought about by mega-hurricane Sandy damaged or completely destroyed thousands of new and used vehicles owned by dealerships as well as individuals. According to initial estimates, Toyota, Chrysler, Nissan and Honda will have to write-off around 15,000 brand-new cars. Nissan spokesman Travis Parman told The Detroit News that "between dealer and port vehicles for both Nissan and Infiniti, initial estimates have us at more than 6,000 units as 'un-saleable' to be scrapped".

These Robotic Fish Feed, Swim And Cluster Like The Real Thing

Anyone who has ever owned an aquarium full of fish knows that they aren't the low maintenance pets everyone thinks they are. But now, for the truly lazy would-be pet owner, it appears the age of realistic robotic pets as depicted in Blade Runner has finally arrived. At first glance, motionless and out of water, Takara Tomy's Robofish appear to be nothing more than cheap fish replicas. But slap a battery in several of the units, place them in water and you'll be startled by how realistic the Robofish appear. The randomized movements of the fish mimic the way real fish swim, eat, and even gather into schools of fish. Each Robofish is powered by two lithium-ion watch batteries which drive the unit's tail movements.
